PROBLEM
CAUSE
1. Low battery capacity:
a. Observe
the
electrolyte
level in the cell windows and
make certain level is between the two scribed lines on
the cell windows.
b. Continuous use of battery that has not been fully
charged will cause it to lose its capacity. This may be
corrected by cycling the battery several times
(discharge 8 hours and recharge 16 hours). Repeat
this procedure 3 times. If battery does not respond,
replace with a new one.
c. Battery not charged.

connections inside the headpiece in the same manner
as those on the battery.
d. Make sure the bulb is secure and making good
contact.
e. If the light flickers or dims when any of the preceding
items are being checked, that item should be repaired
or replaced.

3. Electrolyte
level:
a. Check at least once each month to see that the
electrolyte level is between the two scribed lines on
the cell window.
Battery not holding a charge during shift
a. Make sure charger output is correct.
b. Check electrolyte level after charge
c. Make sure connections between headpiece and
battery are good.
d. Make sure that charging rack connections are good.
